A Youthful Reformer.
There was a storm in the big
house at Woodstock. The outward
signs were in the violent manner of
a young man who, with flash oflight
from his steel-gray eyes, rushed down
the steps of the mansion, flung him
self into a buggy waiting there, and
disappeared at a rattling pace down
the street.
In the long drawing room stood a
girl, her little figure drawn up to its
greatest height, with small hands
clenched, and bright defiant eyes,
full of angry tears. Her rosy cheeks
were redder still from passion, and
her full vounsr Iids routine like a
m 3 S u
child's.
"There! He has gone! For good, I
hope!" she exclaimed with vehemence
as the buggy dashed away. "I'm
heartily glad of it. Oh, what a relief
to have Quarreled and erotten rid of
his masterful, overbearing ways.
The girl threw herself into a luxurious
chair, dug a much crumpled lace
handkerchief into her tearful eyes,
and sobbed excitedly over this final
break in the relations that had exist
ed so long.
P y " The trouble was brought about by
simple means as most lovers' quar
rels are. Wilbur Tyront had come
in the cool of the affternoon to ask
after hr health, as was his custom
after an evening spent in dancing,
he had also brought her a box of
sweets, of which he knew she was
very fond. While she was nibbling
daintiiy at her bon-bons, Wilber, the
donor, somewhat inconsistently re
marked that she must not indulge in
those things too much, ns it was not
conducive to health. He also as
serted in his usual positive tone, that
she bad taken too much refreshment
last night to be good for her while
dancing. This last unfortunate re
mark fired Ruby's quick temper, for
he was just as plump as a girl dared
be and still remain graceful, and she
guarded her appetite closely, for the
reason of her inclination to embon
point. Moreover, how could he accuse
her of gourmandizing at an evening
entertainment?
"Wilbur," she returned with as
perity, "I do wish you would keep
your eyes on your own partner ana
not be Uhtu minding me. Mr.
Boat brought me some ic s, knowing
, I was very warm. Ton happened to
(tun uttjt aw mm duhuvot ana vow
V turn esdovisx, then, it makes me
wuaamt now to remember the
Jark look yoa threw me. It was
bom of your affairs who l was
with o What I was doing?"
"Who could help noticing your ex
treme absorption in Mr. Ross, I
wonder? Because you encouraged
him he actually tried to make love
to you, there, before my very eyes.
I'll wearer anvthinir he proposed to
you right in the candle light with a
room full of people about, and you
let him do it. I tell you." seizing her
wrist very roughly with his strong
right hand and bending over till his
passionate face almost touched hers.
"I won't have the girl I am engaged
to marry be the recipient of propos
als of love from other men, and
you've got to understand that once
for all!"
Ruby's face whitened with pain,
but her dark, angry eyes looked fear
lessly into h:.s. "Wilbur, let go my
arm. You hurt me, don't you see,"
holding up a plump fair hand and
wrist that was red and white by
turns where the fingers had closed
tightly upon it.
"I may be your financee," she ex
claimed, with a determined, angry
ring in her voice, "but I am not your
slave. Ton have a most violent, un
governable temper, and yon are
tearfully jealous of me. Wilbur Ty
ront. I have no longer any enjoy
ment when I go out with you. Tha
best thing we can do is to agree to
separate at once and forever. Need
less to say I shall be very happy to
do it!" drawing a long breath of an
ticipated freedom and relief.
The effect on Wilbur was magical,
for it bad never occurred to him that
this quarrel would have a more seri
ous result than many others these
hot-tempered young folks had ex
perienced. He jumped as though he
had been shot, and his white, strongly
marked face was drawn with intense
emotion as his steely eyes looked her
through and through.
"Yes," be said with hissing intona
tion, "and marry that fellow Ross,
with hto gentle insinuating ways, his
mild bhweyes and everlasting violin.
That's what youlldo! I wish you
toy of your quiet, tractable husband.
J 'twill make a first class slave and

with szjjry, disdainful eyes, and was

began to pa!) on restless Ruby?
Everything that had once been bo

the Jikfd to hear his quiet, manly
tones, discussing with her some so
cial problem of the day, pausing now
and then to iiitew to her replies,
which were often incoherent, though
always eager in expression. Findlay
Ross, anxiously endeavoring to
pleaw, had discovered this was now
the only way to interest his capri
cious friend and pupil. Of love she
would hear nothing, though, be it
said to his credit for jrsintence, he
had tried more than once to gain a
iavorable hearing. Flirtations and
society chit-chat she despised.
"I think I nee'l an object in life."
she mused reflectively one day. "It
certainly is true that the useless life
I am leading now has no charm for
me. Yes, I'll go to see Mrs. San
born, who is attracting general at
tention just now with her woman's
reform speeches. It would be quite
suitable for me to take an active
part in some branch ot woman's
work.
Mrs. Sanborn smiled a little
pleased, intelligent smile, as her eyes
rested on the girl sitting at a table
in her reception room eagerly scan
ning some woman's paper she had
taken up while waiting. She was tall
and rather handsome, with a fair
round face and pretty gray curls
pushed back from a broad forehead,
and eyes that shone with good feel
ing and a sparkle of merriment be
sides. Ruby was pleased with her at
first glance, and the serious young
eyes rested confidingly on the other
woman's face. "Oh, I'm so glad,"
exclaimed she, eajrerly, "I was afraid
j-ou'd be you'd be ''
"Mannish?" returned Mrs. San
born. "Oh, no that is not at all neces
sary. Many people have that im
pression, I know, but it is a very
wrong one. Of course, we must be
strong and positive in our assertions
and not afraid to speak publicly
if we wish to lieneht our
cause, u we were inannisii
it would be setting a poor example
to our followeis whom we wish to
be essentially womanly and true.
Do you see? Now, what can I do
for you?" asked Mrs. Sanborn with
a pleasant smile on her iace.
Ruby silently handed her a card,
which the lady read, without allow
ing any sign's of previous knowl
edge escape her. "I have heretofore
been more of a society girl than any
thing else, but I'm tired of all that
now, and want some object in lite, l
thought woman's work the most fit
ting thing for me to enter. Mrs.
Sanborn, what can you give me to
dor
The lady slowly considered: . "Yon
are young," she said, "and unmar
ried, without any experience what
ever in this new field ot work. How
would ethics do? You can then in
fluence your immediate circle of ac
quaintances and broaden your own
mind as wsIL There are many books
to read. If yon have a taste for the
weird and strange, take Uulwer,
Crawford or Damns. They all treat
of occurrences ' seemingly superna
tural, yet frequently taking place in
every clay life. Study these, and you
will become less superstitious, more
credulous and more familiar with the
paradoxes of lile, which are many.
To inform yourself on the currents of
popular thought, read and observe
such authors as Draper, Gladstone
and Henry George. Action quickly
follows thought nowadays, and to
be able to understand the restless
movements common to all classes of
American people, we must become
conversant with the writers and ag
itators, who by their pens and
speeches, are causing these disturb
ances. First the cause, and then the
remedy," ended the lady, with a very
sweet smile into the bright, earnest
face of the listening girl.
"What has all that to do with
woman's work? I thought yu
would give me some real task to per
form amongst women."
"Oh, no; wait till you are grown
grayheaded like us reformers, and
then go out into the world if you
wish, make speeches and give stir
ring, useful advice to the people.
Your part now is to study the cause
of all the discontent and trouble in
the world and And out how much
woman, by her work and efforts, can
influence it for the better."
After more conversation Ruby
went home with many serious prob
lems of the conditions of life cours
ing through her young brain, while
Mrs. Sanborn went to her escritoire
and wrote the following note to her
nephew in the wilds of Indian Ter

Ruby was very mu''h drawn to the

threw herself wi.h such devotion in
to her cause, so willingly giving time
and aid, where it was ot most avail.
Her own little t-lub was doing finely,
as she had the benefit of Mrs. San

eveuseepied to her that the quality
of her temjierwas improving since
she had made an honest confession
of her weakness to Mrs. Sanborn,

her already this had happened, but
she promised -herself that by keep
imr the image of this lovely woman
in her heart she could better control
her unruly moods in the future.
She was growing so much inter

curred which changed the current
of her thought entirely. Wilbur Ty
ront came homennd wentimmedinte

asking to be forgiven. He pleaded
his cause well. Ruby felt the old
love, that had only been held in abey
ance for so long, rush back upon her
w ith all the force of pent-up will. Her
eyes were bright with tears of soft
ness as she gave him the answer he
waited to hear. Then she asked him
if it were worth while considering the
matter of their union until it had
been proved satisfactorily to both
that their tempers were more con
genial than of old.

tained by the Itritir.li Corernmrnt, and now
millions of trees are growing In India and
Java, from which parts the supply of the
world is obtained. There arc no less than
thirty-six species of the cinchona now-
known and named, but the kinds found to
yield quinine In ius various forms in paying
quantities arc crown-bark, c. officinalis,
red bark, c. succirubra, yellow bark, c
callsaya, gray bark, c nitida, and micran-tha.
We got our word quinine from qulna, the
native name of the bark, and for many
years in its early history It was known to
" druggists as Countess' bark and Jesuits'
,bark, from the early connection of these
with its introduction. The tree itself Is a
beautiful object
The illustrations of c. nuinfiiiiuacalissva
will give a good idea of Its appearance. It
has delicate, small flowers, in close clus
ters, and at certain seasons its fragrance
fills the air for a considerable distance.
The kimls most valuable for the bark are
fortunately readily raised from cuttings.
In the original forests very destructive
methods were used in obtaining the bark,
but In the cultivated forests of Java and
India, the trees are specially prepared by
removing the stems, and only parts of the
bark stripped at a time, so that aft-r a cer
tain length of time the process can be re
peated. The aromatic bark of Uhns co
tinus or sumach has been used as a sub
stitute for Peruvian bark.
